Not built in, but I believe it can be done -- use AddHandler control.click on all of the controls except for the one you want to to know when the click was for something else.

Sub RegisterControls(cntrl as Control)
   For Each c as Control in cntrl
      AddHandler c.click, AddressOf Whatever
      If c.Controls.Count >0 Then RegisterControls(c)
   Next
End Sub
